Post-perihelion dust activity and a candidate icy-grain halo in long-period comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan--ATLAS)

Bin Liu, Xiaoping Zhang, Xiaodong Liu +1

We analyze the post-perihelion coma of the Great Comet of 2024, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan--ATLAS) to characterize dust activity and assess the contribution of sublimating icy grains t…

Dust Activity Evolution and Constraints on Icy Grains in the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS

Bin Liu, Xiaoping Zhang, Xiaodong Liu +1

We present Zwicky Transient Facility observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS to characterize its dust-activity evolution before and after perihelion. Before perihelion, the…

Multi-band power color-color diagrams of three black hole X-ray binaries observed with Insight-HXMT

Shao-Feng Liu, Long Ji, Yanan Wang

Power color-color diagrams (PCCDs) provide a useful diagnostic tool for studying the evolution of outbursts in black hole X-ray binaries. In this paper, we present power color-colo…

The complex kinematics of the young stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center can be explained by the presence of an intermediate mass companion of Sgr A

Xiaochen Zheng, Long Wang, Douglas N. C. Lin +2

The sub-parsec proximity around the Sgr A supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of the Milky Way contains an inner cluster of eccentric S-stars with randomly oriente…

Probing Solar Wind Structures with Solar Energetic Particle Observations from Solar Orbiter

Xiaohang Chen, Gang Li, Joe Giacalone +12

The propagation of solar energetic particles (SEPs) through the heliosphere is primarily guided by the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) which is embedded in the solar wind plasm…

Lunar ejecta as the missing piece to resolve the lunar cratering asymmetry

Hailiang Li, Xiaoping Zhang, Li-Yong Zhou

The leading-trailing asymmetry in lunar crater distribution provides a critical record of inner solar system dynamics, yet the long-standing discrepancy between the observed higher…
